Thanks for teh well wishes, awl. Still blows my mind that I made it to 34 with all four grandparents (Mormon longevity ftw!). Anyway, my grandfather was awesome, and it was good to reminisce and all that stuff.

Snowing a shitton in NoUT right now. Not looking forward to the drive back to the airport in this weather.

In an orgy of consumerism, went to teh pattagucci outlet in dillon yesterday for their 40% off already stupid cheap shit sale. Got a gnu florescent blue r1 hoody and a pair of hideous (drivel would be proud) board shorts of orange and blue houndstooth.

Man, I haven't had such a lazy Sunday in ages! Feels good to be lazy once in a while. Made some progress on my jean quilt. it would be nice to finally have it done, bc my "design board" is my bedroom floor.

Went to the gym this afternoon to do some wall stripping and setting. The request was for a "hard" route. It is difficult for me to gauge the grade while setting, and it has happened more than once that i have planned to make a hard route and ended up with a moderate that requires some tweaking to "harden" it. So I finish setting, and ask a guy to give me a catch. Run though the route, it turned out really nice, flows well, but I think, maybe not quite hard, maybe hard minus... Which in our gym-speak corresponds to ~11b/c.

Meanwhile, a visiting guy has been walking circles around the construction cones, dying to try this new route. So he get's on it, and falls on the 1st move. And 3rd move, and 5th move, and 6th move... you get the idea. Comes down and pronounces it to be a "solid 5.12, really sustained, one hard move after another". Not sure, if you can call a 25ft climb a sustained anything, but... heh! Another guy gets on it, same thing... apparently it is harder than I thought. They both like the route, at least that much is good. But now I am wondering if my difficulty gauge really needs recalibrating, or if I had just set one of those "easy-for-people-between-4'10"-and-5'2"-difficult-for-everyone-else" routes.

Nice!

When I got back from my run yesterday morning the shop owner told everyone that clinic members would get 45% off all tops in the store. The next half hour was an orgy of female shoppers stripping down to their sport bras trying on various shirts.

The one I came away with was the brightest shirt in the store. Definitely bordering on neon. Awesome.

I don't know why, since they never work for me when it comes to actually using them, but shopping for bras is so much fun.

Pictures, or it didn't happen!

ask and ye shall receive.

I like the shorts, but I don't think the photo does the hoody justice.

I don't see no blue in those shorts!

That's not Doc. There is no pseudo-Hayduke beard busting through the hoodie.

After a few years I gave up trying to convince the rest of the world, and just graded all my routes 1/2 a number grade harder than they felt to me. Meh...

GO

Yeah, in our gym it is very muddled. It is easy-mod-hard, but the ballpark conversion charts that we had years ago are not used anymore, so nobody really even tries to guesstimate what the routes are in real grades. If it is harder than a mod, then it is a hard. LOL.

I was not fooled. Doc never had such shapely calves and svelte physique.

Went up to auburn yesterday. Ran into the meetup group in the parking lot. Their fearless leader was the biggest clueless sprayer I've seen in a while. Full grab the draw while clipping style, spraying everyone down with loud bad beta. A general nuisance. Aaron let him do the second ascent of a new mediocre 5.6 and he was spraying about his first ascent.

Moved to the upper wall where there were less people and did some of the good stuff. 1 hung the project first try, and then 10 hung it second try when I forgot the low crux beta. damz. should go down next visit.

Some new routes are going in up there and they look good! Don't know who's putting them up.

The new duds are fine, but the 1960s beige fixtures and hideous dark wood cabinets have got to go.

A kitchen remodel - now that's real consumerism. The economy needs you to fix up yer shabby kitchen NOW. Why you hatez America?
